Windows Phone 8 announced today: will support 50 languages

Windows Phone 8 was announced today. One snippet of news that's interesting for an international audience: it will expand the number of languages from currently 25 languages in Windows Phone 7.5 to 50 in Windows 8, including Arabic, Farsi and Turkish.

In addition, the Windows Phone store for downloading apps and games, Marketplace, will expand to support downloads in over 180 countries.

However, the Windows Phone Suggestion box at windowsphone.uservoice.com is the place where you can suggest new language support and vote for feature requests. Already a few suggestions and votes for Georgian in the suggestion box.

A scandinavian also asking for Thai language support. Tried to promote WP in Thailand with my Lumia 800 in June, but to my suprise i saw there was no option for Thai!!?? WTF! A country with 60+ million inhabitants ignored. I see iPhones and Galaxies everywhere here now in Oct..
